ENULANU'S roan SUPPLY. • "The English people are: only,beginning to realize • the far-reaching consequences of the change in the political and commercial .situation which resulted from tho'repeal of the Corn Lave, and the reluctant assent to the inevitable conclusion that England must draw liar food supply,fr'oru abroad in contiuualiy increasing proportion. The impossibility of her ever again raising sof ficient wheat orcattle to feed her popula- tion, renders an extended foreign commerce necessary to hervery existence.The cheap ▪ food supply from Abroad has not merely en- `,abled her' to pursue her manufacturing in- dustries to advantage, but has made it ab- solutely requisite that she should excel in this department in order to have the moans of preserving her people -from starvation.. The benefits of what is sornotimes absurdly called England's free trade policy, but which' froth n •manufacturing'standpoint might, with More .reason be called national as being _strictly in the line of building up her most important industries, have never been more forcibly illustrated than during the recent period of corninercial`stagnation. It is 'noted by an, .En��liah•••journal that, though wages were low, work.alack and all the ordinary pauses of distress present in• abundance, there has been iio•elartling'in-• crease of,pauperism, not large recourse to private charity, and no appeal. for Govern- ment aid.

Last week we ]rad ecarcy time or room to give. more than a brief account of the tragedy that took place in the tdwuxhip of Biddulph,rand a a hort•history.of the Don- nelly family,,,without any comments there- on. That it was a meat terrible eflair no one can .deny, and one that is a disgrace to such .a law-abiding ermine -Unity as we in. Canada, claim to be, 'most all will .admit, but that it was an ,unloolted for and maws - emoted tragedy but very few in a wide cir- ole of the neighborhood will assert. For many years past the Donnelly family have been a terror to a wide. extent of gmentry, no one beteg able to say that hie life or. property was safe if he happened to incur the.ill will of any one member. They are charged with :the corrimittai of all kinds of depredations in, the way of stealing, and of appropriating horses, cattle and vehicles to their owlsuse dad then' leaving them. where the owners could find thein, On one occasion some sixteen bags of wheat were stolen from a farmer's barnf and on. ay home with rt the team got stuck in a mud hole, the thieves, went to the nearest stable, took out the bosses, hitch- ed theist to a waggon, divided the load and drove .to their destination, arid then re•... turned the borrowed team and tied it to the fence of the owner. The farmer from whom' the wheat was .stolen tracked the .teain to the barn of the Donnelly!, but did not do anything because. he felt certain that omet i ng worse would happen to hiri ,• if he did. There are parties in thietown who were threatened by the Donnellysif •• they dared ,to patronize the opposition, stupe; sand others who kept hotels in .that. neighborhood who had to surrender con- trol of their establishments so long as a. Donnelly was around. It is said they were repeatedly seen firing buildings and com- mitting other depredations without being brobght to j.ustice; because the "witnesses feared vengeance, Parties that have lived in that neiglrborliood say that they were very devils; and that they would stick at noth- ing.', othing.•• Wo are inforfned that some four yoara ago there was talk in Pie neighbor= hoc of inflicting upon the family .irotlie •thin almllar to h t. �' .. .. . . w._ $...I Aa 'Mix been_ deem; Itis very. easa.to talk of piinishing .the, guilty by putting in. action the present erilite of t ac r the law there i ...r but aro 'are muses Where' the law: fails. to reach the matter or where-• t , guilty` parties ,aro. brought. toy condign punishment Kid a stop. put to their career; 'and, in consequence; a higher • law has been appealed to. ,The Globe says that many who would havo rejoiced at their be- ing ducked in.:a*•hoise pgnd,.'or whipped.ab a',cart ;tail, • will revolt at the terrible fate they havo met why should they l One would be Lynch la'w as well tis the other, and if any one deserved ducking or whip- ping and they got it, and theaexecutioners were said to have.

We havo repeatedly shown by argument and facts that the cultivation of the beet for sugar making ,purposes would not he' parried on profitably in Canada, andp that all attempts ea to do would not only end it# failure, but would outail great loss on Borne one,. it is, therefore, the' duty of all to oppose; the efforts of interestedparties in getting up companies, ostensibly for sugar making, but in reality to fill their. pockets withthe funds raised to carry on ing the business � e_ , we, therefore, 'adyise and large the Ontario Government to pour cold water on the sugar making project, and • courteously decline to render any assist- ance to the deputntidn..

The ntario Logisistur°e GXl,ectH to wind up the se, len in about two weoks. The significance of the following; sentence, from the lips, and we are sure, from the hears of Sir Leonard Tilley, cannot be overlooked. In a recent addreoa" he %aid : " The liquor traf, 'fie was doing more harm than all our legisla- tion could amend. "Many he thongnt were seeking homes in the West because there was a prohibitory law there." • It was; something to have the Pinitnce Minister of the Dominion declare, as Sir Leonard did the other day in this city, that the revenue accruing from 1i- quor traffic would not be needed were the li- quor traffic swept out of existence. Butt it ie. still more to have him take the still higher ground that it does more harm than all legis, laden can. amend.
